Fiona: Thats very brave of you to have undergone the whole process without epi. But still your delivery is considered fast. How long did the first one took?
Btw, its really fortunate that you decided to induce early.. the idea of the cord wrapped round the baby is pretty scary.. Any way to detect this via scan? Hard right?
Joodz: Jiayou! Keep us posted when your bundle of joy is here..
Ah Ching: Perhaps still need to wait a little longer?
This is getting so exciting.. all the end Jan/ early Feb mummies are starting to pop liaoz.. We are all counting down.. So interesting to read the birth stories here..

My baby was very active last night... very hard to fall asleep.
starting to get dull back pain. have many BH as well stomach hardening like a rock. this mild backpain feels like labour! but i think another week ba heehee tml baby is 37 weeks!
Wonder how joodz is... she mentioned in fb tt it is f***ing painful...

hmmm.... I had regular contractions (5-10min intervals) but was at 1-2cm for a LONG TIME. like from 1am to 7am. I was put on ocytocin drip after that to intensify contractions and speed up dilation but both didn't quite occur. I was at 2-3cm for like FOREVER. i think between 7am and 3pm.
so joodz if you see this, don't worry, it's normal for first timers to dilate v slowly.

marie: I am keeping mind open abt the epi.. depends on how the labour go.. 'a bit scared'

Joodz: have a smooth delivery!
Ah Ching, i also felt pain at V area like V is going to tear apart. And i also got the feeling to keep going toilet to poo but nothing come. It's just the opposite when i had bad constipation during the 1st 30weeks. My gynae say having very BH is good though he never mention why leh.
Fiona, wow your birth process is so fast and inspiring! I'm wondering if i can tahan w/o epi this round, can save few hundreds [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Joodz, jiayou mummy!

Congrats Fiona on ur smooth delivery… Has Joodz popped already? Or still in process? Good luck!!
Choc – I also very sian to go to work these days… everyday is a struggle.. think I must give myself a congratulatory pat today for making it thru the wk without MC.. every morning wake up feel like going to see doc to ask for MC.. but dunno what reason to give also… is fatigue acceptable??
Getting more apprehensive these few days… starting to get crampy and lots of tightening of the stomach.. sometimes very scared that I mistake real contractions for BH…

oh yah, please clean your nipples before heading to hospital. alot of dirt stuck inside one... use a facial toner and a cotton pad. you will see what i mean ...
like wannabel mention, will have dried white/yellow bits, black bits, brown dirt, etc in the crevices. cos normally we just shower, put soap , wash off. hardly use a cotton pad to really give it a clean. imagine baby choke on these things!!
i clean already wanted to show hubby. he say PLEASE DON"T SHOW ME!!! Whahahhaa!!

Hi Kinder, yeah stay near the central.. took a bus to Chong Pang and bought some CNY clothes for No.1
I got BH last night so cant sleep.. lie down only back very pain so watch TV until 4.30.. hubby also havent return home altho he said will go buy durian for me to eat..
I also havent wash my BB bassinet bedding..
still need to unpack the steriliser and sterilise the breast pump etc..
BB clothes also wash some only..
but even if BB coming out I think the things can be done after I return from hospital.. so keep procrastinate lor..
MiMi.. better dont anyhow stimulate nipple cos it can cause labour..

Opted for epi.. Couldn't take the pain.. Since 3am only dilated 1cm.. Now at 3cm.. Nurse told me high chance c sect but I'm not giving up.. My cut off time is by 5pm.. Really hope my body will listen and be fully dilated by then.. Epi is lifesaver but I still can feel a little bit.. Uncomfortable but better than nothing I guess.. Good thing nurses are very kind and gentle during all the examinations etc.. Keep u guys posted..

joodzjoodz: Jia you!!
@Zanta: Huh??? Oh no! I didn’t take note my heavy flow one is with netting or what leh. Harrr… How….. LOL~ Oh the nursing bra quite comfy, no wire one. But from what I see when I tried on I think the breast won’t sag bah. Hee…
@fiona: Congrats!!!! You didn’t have epidural?? So brave!! How painful issit??? From the normal check up scan we can’t see if the umbilical cord is around baby’s neck? And you took very fast to give birth to baby Jovan! So happy for you!! =D
@Ah Ching: The other morning I also went Chong Pang market to buy CNY romper for my baby. Hahahha! =p
@Joodz: Jia you!!! Once you see your baby you'll find all the pain is worth it. =D
Anyway I just went for my check up this morning. My gynae showed me how BH is like. And I thought it's normal that my tummy is firm. Now then I know it's BH. Then she also told me when should I go hospital. Baby's head is still down but not engaged yet. Hope he'll be good and wait till CNY. Hehehe..
And when I was waiting for cab at the hospital I saw 2 Japanese women with a tiny baby on a stroller. And 1 of them was carrying the baby out. The baby is so tiny!! Think only few days old. The lady was small size too. Then I told my mummy "Hee hee.. So tiny one.. Should be few days old why still so tiny". Then my mummy said "Ya, very tiny one. You think they grow so fast meh?". =p
